Abstract

In this article, we analyze several lines of activism related to gender and sexual diversity, along with the impact they have had, and continue to have, in school contexts. We analyze these movements along two main lines – first we review lgbt activism, movements that have promoted equality and visibility of gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual persons. At the same time, we consider other more radical movements based on transfeminist thinking that resist the very notion of normal, extending feminist critique of the patriarchy to include the social construction of the sexual binary. We identify the institution of schooling as a key site for disseminating inaccurate and harmful social ideologies, as well as for their resistance. We review here some of the efforts of activist collectives to educate about gender and sexual diversity.
